Overall, in the context researched the Organic Chemistry approach targets to shape critic thinking citizens, it is related to the everyday life, it takes the students´ ideas and conceptions into consideration, it occurs through lecture classes and experimental verification activities, and lastly, it uses various evaluating instruments
